Yoga Instructor Bio:
Daphné (she/her) is a classical violinist with a lifelong passion for the instrument. Down the line, the intensity and pressure of competing in violin took over her day-to-day life, and yoga became the remedy. Daphné found yoga as a place to connect with herself and went on to complete her 250-hour yoga teacher training in Montréal in 2020 and immediately began teaching.
Originally from Québec, Daphné studied music at the Glenn Gould School in Toronto. Following the ebb and flow of a musical career, she also spends her days teaching yoga. Daphné became interested in teaching kids' yoga when she realized that movement combined with music could help her students beyond their music lessons. Now every time Daphné steps into the room to teach yoga to children, she asks herself: “How can I serve these kids as best as I can?”
